Trump approval, favorability tick up in DDHQ polling averages
- President Donald Trump, who began his second term in January 2025, experienced fluctuating approval ratings in recent polls as of early May 2025.

- The polling trends suggest possible challenges for the Republican Party in the 2026 midterms and highlight Democrats’ focus on capitalizing on Trump’s slipping numbers.
